Christmas in 2008 will definitely become a new urban legend in the mouths of many people.

Whether it was the ruins of western Queens, the thunderclouds that covered Midtown Manhattan that day, or the appearance of mutants...

And those heavily armed officers who were arrested by the New York Police Department that day...

It all shows that what happened that day was serious.

But no one knows what happened in the big place that day, at least not that they should know.

In the S.H.I.E.L.D. Tri-Wing Building, Pierce looked at Nick Fury whose neck was broken by Diana, and he couldn't control his emotions.

This guy took the position of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. because of his own efforts, but now the position is vacant again, just because of Nick Fury's own suicide attempt, which finally allowed him to commit suicide.

Pierce rubbed the back of his head. If he didn't have to maintain his image, he really wanted to add a few bullet holes to Nick Fury's body.

With this guy blocking the front, Hydra was able to develop steadily.If any major problem arises, push this kid forward and nothing will happen.

This guy can always come up with some reasons to reassure the Security Council, and he can always get a lot of money from the Security Council.

"Secretary-General, the meeting is ready." A bald agent knocked on the door and walked in.

Pierce nodded, and then looked at Nick Fury's body: "Bury Fury's body as soon as possible."

The agent just nodded.

Pierce opened the door and walked towards the meeting floor where the new SHIELD Director was about to be decided.

As for Nick Fury's body, who would care about a dead man?

When Pierce opened the door to the conference room, he saw many management personnel of SHIELD, as well as agents with level eight and above clearances here.

Although SHIELD is a secret agency, it is absolutely impossible to rely on just a few people to determine such a big internal matter.

Moreover, from various aspects, all agents with level eight and above may become the next director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Of course, there is only one person with the highest possibility.

The current head of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s New York branch, Maria Hill.

This is the person that the Security Council is most optimistic about, and he will basically be the next director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

But Maria Hill's rise to power will inevitably make Hydra, which was originally hiding in S.H.I.E.L.D., uncomfortable.

There's nothing I can do about it. Who knows that the intercourse girls are not good people?

Maria Hill's indifference and determination have no way to allow Hydra to obtain the environment they need to survive, not to mention that they have been exposed by Diana once.

As long as Maria Hill comes to power, it will inevitably lead to a serious internal review and purge.

Even S.H.I.E.L.D.’s agent hierarchy was something that only started to function properly after Hill arrived at S.H.I.E.L.D.Such an efficient and unkind agent became the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., which was great for the Security Council.

At least there won't be the problem of using public tools for personal use like in the hands of Nick Fury.

"You're late, Secretary-General Pierce." A somewhat vicissitudes of voice sounded from one of the five screens in front of him, and the stars and stripes under the screen indicated his identity.

It was a man with white hair, and it was obvious that he was caught off guard by what happened recently.

First, the western part of Queens, New York, USA, was in ruins due to the SHIELD operation, and then there was the news of the death of the director of SHIELD.It really makes this veteran American politician a little confused.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. field agents currently captured by the New York Police Department are still in the detention cells.

After all, the New York Police Department doesn't rely on people like them sitting in Washington for a living, and it dares to attack the FBI if it offends them.Not to mention a secret service whose name was exposed by others.

It is said that the person who arrested you cannot be released easily.

But what can be done then?

Let’s first confirm the new director of SHIELD, and then think about those guys who have been arrested in the New York Police Department.

"Just seeing an old friend for the last time." Pierce calmly walked to his seat and sat down.

No one would think there was anything wrong with Pierce's reason for being late. Who in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't know the relationship between the secretary-general and Nick Fury.

That's really a close relationship.

"Since Secretary General Pierce has arrived, the meeting can begin now, Director Hill." A member of the Security Council did not want to delay it like this.

Anyway, the result is basically confirmed.

The next Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. will inevitably be the resolute woman who is presiding over the meeting now.

At most, this meeting is an introduction to everyone. Maria Hill, who has been the acting director since the death of Nick Fury, officially becomes the director.

"I'm sorry, directors, I know very well that SHIELD needs a director to take charge of the overall situation, but do we need to determine the real cause of Nick Fury's death first?" Pierce knocked on his desk and said to the The five-sided screen said.

"I understand the feelings of Secretary-General Pierce very well. The death of Nick Fury is a very important event, but now it is more important to let SHIELD have a real leader again." The woman from Buckingham Palace told Pierce question was refuted.

To be honest, if Nick Fury hadn't been strongly recommended by this secretary-general, he would never have been able to take the position of Director of SHIELD.

Moreover, ever since that black braised egg became the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., S.H.I.E.L.D. had begun to comply with some of the requirements of the Security Council. Now that the black braised egg is dead, it can be regarded as complying with the wishes of the Security Council.

Pierce also knew that he could only use this lame excuse to interfere with the meeting, but just this time.

Nothing will now interfere with the Council's promotion of Maria Hill as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.Only in this way can SHIELD be completely back on track.

At least this is the direction that the United States, Buckingham Palace, and the Elysee Palace want.

As for the other two companies, they basically don’t care much about SHIELD, which is so-called established for world security.

After all, they all have their own similar organizations. How about a S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Now there is nothing anyone can do to prevent Maria Hill from joining SHIELD, unless Ms. Carter, who is now retiring in England, returns to her youth and steps into the SHIELD building again.

This meeting was very short. After all, no matter what, S.H.I.E.L.D. was only funded by the Security Council, and no one had more power over S.H.I.E.L.D. than the Security Council.

By the time the meeting ended, Maria Hill was the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Congratulations, Agent Hill." Pierce held the young woman's hand after the meeting, and then said to Hill apologetically, "Sorry, I should change my words now, Director Hill."

After speaking, Pierce patted the new director on the shoulder and planned to leave the conference room.

"Secretary Pierce." But no one expected that the new director would actually call Pierce.

"what happened?"

Hill walked up to Pierce and stared at the man in front of him with his blue eyes. Then he said rather coldly: "I know some people think it is not a good thing for me to be the mayor."

Pierce listened to Hill's words, still with the faint smile on his face, and did not express anything about Hill's words at all.

"It doesn't matter, they can try and pull me down from here." Hill's cold tone revealed her full confidence, "Of course, you have to be mentally prepared to be dealt with, what do you think? Pierce Secretary General.”

Pierce didn't answer, just smiled, turned and left.

"Contact the guy in Manhattan." Watching Pierce leave the conference room, Hill said to Coulson, who was now following him.

Today's America is sometimes no longer a playground for those politicians.

There is also a God sitting in the sky, watching all this.Even if you are not interested in the ants' games, the ants want to let people know that there will be no problems.

The ants were still in awe of her.

"Understood." Colson didn't ask anything. After all, now that the boss has changed, whatever the boss says is what he said.

Colson, who had just wanted to go out and start working, returned to Hill.

"what happened?"

"Director Fury previously had an agreement with the Commander-in-Chief of the United States regarding the Avengers Project. This agreement was also signed not long before Director Fury's death." Coulson said to Hill.

To be honest, Nick Fury only told this matter to his absolutely loyal subordinate.This was not even made known to the Security Council.

After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is funded by the Security Council, so it would not be good for it to be in cahoots with the United States.

Not many people know about this.

"You'd better tell me, this is the only thing he concealed from the bureau?" Hill really didn't know if his former boss had any other messes during his lifetime.

Coulson really wanted to say this, but in the end he chose to keep silent.In a sense, even he will not be fully trusted by Nick Fury.Therefore, he didn't know some things clearly, so he could only wait for these things to surface slowly.

Hill tried his best to control his expression and ensure that he would not show any problem.

Now she finally understands that sometimes racial superiority does exist.At least Nick Fury's black face hid where there was no light, and no one knew what the expression was on that guy's face.

"Tell me about that agreement." Hill also gave up. Now it's safest to settle things one by one.

"Director Fury is responsible for the preliminary screening of candidates in the Avengers program, and then hands it to the United States to determine the final list. But the premise of all this is that Nick Fury can serve as the leader of this team." Coulson told Hill said.

"In other words, the current Avengers project is no longer SHIELD's, right?" Hill really started to have a headache.

It was obviously a super team used to deal with global crises, but now it suddenly became a collaboration between the United States and S.H.I.E.L.D.

Isn’t that America’s squad?

And talk about the so-called safeguarding of world peace.

"Yes." Although Colson didn't want to admit it, this was the truth.

It’s written in black and white, something that you can’t deny even if you want to.

"It seems that we and the man in Manhattan may not just have to communicate to a certain extent." Hill pressed her eyebrows, and now she could feel some pain in her head.

"So be it."

Coulson looked at his new boss's expression and left the conference room very wisely, leaving only Director Hill who was having a headache.

Pierce, who returned to his office on the other end, showed no emotion at all. He just poured himself a glass of whiskey, and then stood in front of his floor-to-ceiling window and quietly admired the scenery outside the Tri-Wing Building.

He is no longer worried about Maria Hill becoming a Hydra problem.

Obviously, the newly appointed director does not want to make the first fire within SHIELD.

At least the mess outside must be sorted out before there is time to get back to dealing with the inside of S.H.I.E.L.D.

If the person who cares most about performance in this huge S.H.I.E.L.D. agency, there is no one else except the current Director Maria Hill.And this kind of person is also the one who cares most about SHIELD, and will never allow SHIELD to have any stain that can be easily caught.

The same goes for Hydra. The only way to continue to hide and develop safely after Diana exposed them is to help the new director continue to clean up the mess of SHIELD.

Especially the stuff Nick Fury did.

Pierce took a sip of the whiskey in his hand.

"It seems that we still need to help each other." Pierce smiled.

In the distant star field, a woman is running at full speed.

The whole body is emitting colorful light, and in this vacuum universe where there is no way to transmit sound, it seems that the sound of the woman breaking through the air at full speed can be heard.

The long blond hair that was shawl has now been completely transformed into a mohawk hairstyle by the red hood.

The seven-color stream of light trailing behind him already proved that this guy was flying towards the earth at his fastest speed.

Yes, before Nick Fury died, the guy did press the galactic pager that would deliver a message to Captain Marvel Carol.

Now Carol only has one idea, and that is why Diana pressed the pager. Could it be that she encountered some enemy or something went wrong?

That's right.

Carol didn't give Nick Fury the pager so that he could summon her in times of danger to deal with the mess.

That thing is for Diana!

What's the use of giving it to him?
